Raiders defensive end Bruce Irvin didnât filter himself when he posted an initial reaction to the teamâs decision to trade Khalil Mack last weekend.

Irving wrote âno fâing wayâ on Twitter Darren Helm Jersey , but he quickly progressed through the five stages of grief to come to acceptance. Irvinâs next tweet came 15 minutes laterè½and said that the trade was a shock, but that the Raiders now had to âmove on and win.â

Irvin has continued to look to the future since those social media posts, particularly when it comes to his expanded role as a leader in the front seven for Oakland.

âIâm excited, man,â Irvin said Adidas Jamie Benn Jersey , via ESPN.com. âIâve got my young boys working with me, four days a week. Arden [Key], Fadol [Brown] and Shilique [Calhoun], we work out four days a week at 7 a.m. If one do it, we all going to do it. Itâs great Alex Goligoski Jersey , man. Iâm looking forward to taking on the challenge and I think weâre going to be pretty good.â

Key is joined by two more rookies on the interior of the defensive line, which gives the group a younger look than the Raiders are generally employing this season. If they make good on their potential, Irvinâs prediction could wind up being on the mark.

Trying to address an offseason need, the Arizona Cardinals have signed cornerback Bene Benwikere to a one-year contract.

Benwikere has played in 39 NFL games, 13 as a starter, with two interceptions, 22 passes defensed, a sack Marlon Humphrey Jersey , four fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. He played in 14 games for Dallas last season after the Cowboys acquired him in a preseason trade with Cincinnati.
